According to linked reference Trepanation is the practice of making a hole in the skull in order to improve the brain pulsations and hence the overall well being.
Ref. https://www.trepanationguide.com/
ancient Egyptians used this method to suck the brains of their Pharaoh through the nostrils. Now you know what trepanation is... any comments?
That's the most bizarre thing I ever heard of!! How ridiculous of this group to advocate such a thing. It takes all kinds, I guess, but you'll not be finding me intentionally drilling a chunk of bone out of my head. If I need more blood volume, I'll find a non-invasive way. Ew.

You would think that this type of procedure would run a great risk of infection. I have heard of holes being drilled in the head only for surgical procedures on the brain, or when there was a build up of cerebral fluid after an accident, etc, but never as a source of regeneration.
I think this is a crock! How does having a hole in my head increase blood flow? Also, to suggest that it is a mistake of nature for that soft spot to heal up in an infant and, therefore, we should correct that unfortunate healing? Come on. The soft spot is necessary so that the head can be squeezed through the birth canal. It isn't there so that a baby can have increased blood flow! Really!!!
IMHO, folks who practice this behavior must be extremely mentally unstable. It's a seriously dangerous form of self-mutilation at best. I'd have a root canal without anesthesia before I would ever do something this stupid!

A trepan is the instrument used for making a hole in the skull bone. It is sometimes spelled trephine. The idea is to pump up the brainbloodvolume. It's known that one's level of consciousness is directly related to the volume of blood in one's brain. As a result, trepanners say, one feels happier and more energetic. The practice of trepanation has been around since the Stone Age. Trepanation is the oldest surgical procedure practiced by mankind. At no time had evidence been found that brain surgery was the intention of this procedure. To the contrary, evidence shows that from the very earliest trepanations elaborate care was taken not to penetrate below the level of the bone membrane. Care was taken not to penetrate through the dura matter. Care was taken not to damage the brain. |
